I was running Windows 7, then I got this popup asking me if I wanted to install Windows 10 now or later. I selected later. Then I had to select a date and time for the installation to happen. I selected a date 3 days in the future.
I left my computer for a while. When I got back, there was a Windows 10 desktop...
After a while, my computer went into stand-by mode and it wouldn't come out of it, so I had to press the restart button on the front of my computer.
My system is all messed up. Many things don't work:
I don't have a Start Menu (when I click the Start button, nothing happens).
Even Task Manager won't run. (I get an error saying "The extended attributes are inconsistent." apparently this is an issue with sound settings, but that won't open either.)
I want to rollback my system to Windows 7, but there's no way the Settings window will show up. I found something that has to do with a missing Settings window called "Emerging Issue 67758", but when I download the fix and try to run it, I get an error: "An unexpected error has occurred. The troubleshooting wizard can't continue."
When I go to Control Panel -> Recovery, there's an option: "If you're having problems with your PC, go to settings and try resetting it", but when I click that, I get another error: "Class not registered"
Is there a way to get back my Windows 7, besides reinstalling from disk and starting over? (The windows.old folder is still there)
